Looks like we need to choose between God and Mammon just to keep on the right side of heaven’s gate.
And don’t miss that tonight begins Rosh Hashana “The Feast of Trumpets” (the only feast having Messianic symbolism left unfulfilled by Jesus’ in his first coming), which begins with a ten-day period of introspection called the Yamim Noraim of “The Days of Awe” (and who would deny the awe of today’s market losses?), and is capped off by the great fast day of Yom Kippur “The Day of Atonement.”
I guess, now we have ten days to figure out whether we’re really sorry, or not, and I’m thinking we’d better come up with an honest answer.
